This week, Dominican authorities reported finding the bodies of at least four women near the Dominican-Haitian border. All four had been deported by the U.S. government from Puerto Rico to Haiti. Haiti continues to be plagued by unprecedented gang violence following the assassination of its president and the collapse of its government. Women and girls there face a growing risk of gender-based violence, with many living in displacement camps. This has been happening to women in Haiti for years, the victim in this photo Anise Boisrond was decapitated and dismembered in November 2020 at the beginning of the most recent destabilization. The Dominican government has refused to accept Haitian refugees, stating that the United Nations and the international community have failed to help cover the cost of their care. Similarly, the United States has stopped accepting Haitian refugees and has attempted to deport those living here legally. This week, a federal judge blocked the Trump administration from ending the Temporary Protected Status program for 350,000 Haitians living in the U.S. Judge Ana Reyes said the government hadn’t even attempted to determine whether these Haitian nationals could safely return to their country. *Victim photographed is one of the many women murdered in this way but is not one of the latest victims — they’re not identities have not been released* Sources: WaPo/LatinTimes/AlJazeera

All people of good will must know the history of body cameras. Why did Democrats, consultant, and pundits push them as "police reform"? The truth is quite dark.

After being forcibly disappeared while passing a military point in Ramallah, 26-year-old Palestinian Al Jazeera journalist Hatem Hamdan has been confirmed to be detained at an Israeli occupation detention center in the occupied West Bank, after soldiers forced him out of his vehicle and then seized it, according to a source at the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate.

I have just listened to a TV interview with the director of al-Shifa Hospital, Dr. Mohammad Abu Silmiya. He said that Israel returned the bodies of 54 Palestinians yesterday without any form of identification. Many of the bodies were missing body parts, and some showed signs of torture. Several corpses also showed fractures in the legs consistent with gunshot wounds. In addition, 66 boxes containing skulls and other bones were returned. None were labeled with names. Only numbers.

Abolish the US war machine

Here is the crowd reaction when Bernie announces Trump’s illegal attack on Iran at his rally in Tulsa

This is insane. Trump just bombed Iran without Congressional approval, illegally dragging us into war in the Middle East. Have we not learned our lesson!?!? Congress must return to Washington at once to vote on @RepThomasMassie’s War Powers Resolution to stop this madness.
